From the first step inside, there is a sense of balance. Lighting, music, layout and decor were done by someone who is a feng shui master. And it didn't stop there. The attentiveness and genuine sense of customer care presented by employees (Sean and Michelle) had me planning a return visit ... and this was before I even asked about a WiFi connection.

Vinology is one door north of Workantile Exchange, an as-needed office space provider. The ability to come here for lunch, or to knock off early for the 4-6pm Mon-Sat happy hour has sold me on giving Workantile a try.

As for vinos, it's high-end, the selection vast (according to Meranda they have 200 bottle selections and 47 by the glass) and the Vino Trivia on the menu both educational and darn fun to read.

First, just so you don't think I'm plugging some place that doesn't have relevance here... yes, they have WiFi in their very excellent waiting room. Second: I've never met a more genuine bunch of people in my entire auto-repair-needing days, which goes way back.

Maybe someone finally had the auto repair epiphany... Combine a group of auto specialists under one roof where they can share the overhead and giving a more of a one-stop-shop experience and really connecting with the customer.

Based on my experience, I will always start my auto repair with these folks.

Have you ever been in a hospital when someone you care about is going through something important? They generally put in you a cozy room and you wait until the doctor comes in to report how it went. That's how I felt today...

Also, Tammy, a very picky coffee, wireless internet cafe connoisseur recently agreed with Steve in a most vehement fashion, commenting that the owner treated her with service above and beyond her wildest expectations-- and she's pretty wild... We're still hoping to get some images of exactly how that all unfolded.
